Forums
This activity can be the most important – it is here that most discussion takes place. Forums can be structured in different ways, and can include peer rating of each posting. The postings can be viewed in a variety for formats, and can include attachments. By subscribing to a forum, participants will receive copies of each new posting in their email. A teacher can impose subscription on everyone if they want to.
Forums are divided into two main categories:
- General forums (under which you will find the forums concerning the whole course)
- Learning forums (the forums of the specific parts of the course: they are organized and numbered according to the course blocks they appear in).
Forums are organized under following headings:
- Forum (the name of the forum)
- Description
- Discussions (the number of discussions started)
- Unread posts (the number of posts you have not read yet)
- Track (the 'yes/no' information about your choice whether or not track the unread posts - if your choice is negative, you will find an '-' sign instead of the number of the posts unread)
- Subscribed (the 'yes/no' information about your choice whether or not get the posts transferred to your mail box)
- RSS (the 'RSS' (Really Simple Syndication) button - please refer to RSS in Forums for additional information
